memstick: r592: Fix UAF bug in r592_remove due to race condition
[ Upstream commit 63264422785021704c39b38f65a78ab9e4a186d7 ]
In r592_probe, dev->detect_timer was bound with r592_detect_timer.
In r592_irq function, the timer function will be invoked by mod_timer.
If we remove the module which will call hantro_release to make cleanup,
there may be a unfinished work. The possible sequence is as follows,
which will cause a typical UAF bug.
Fix it by canceling the work before cleanup in r592_remove.
